It was an absolutely action packed 2016. A lot has happened since we opened in November. We have members from all over the county in the form of bands, duos, solo artists, budding engineers and young people who are just looking to meet like minded music enthusiast and get involved in this thriving new music scene here in Mayo!

The open mics have been a blast and the Christmas Showcase was a massive success with music fans travelling from all across the county to support the talent we have here at The Core!

The Core open mic is a monthly event where we transform the mezzanine area of the Ballina Arts Centre into a vibrant and intimate performance space. The stage is open to young musicians and performers aged 12 to 18 and we can accommodate full bands! It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet like minded musical people from across the county and get experience performing in front an attentive and appreciative audience. It’s also an opportunity to meet members of The Core, get a tour and even sign up to become a member yourself! As always, friends and family are more than welcome to come along and our performers always appreciate the support!
